Weldon, Glad to hear that we will have separate and lightweight vmmagic jar soon. Thanks to you and Steve!
As for today: I use Robin's site in the patch with VM helpers support to download mmtk.jar. Let's change mmtk location when Steve adds first file release to vmmagic.sf.net site. + Could you take a look at this issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2008 ?

All, I received a private email from Steve Blackburn regarding mmtk.jar. There is a new forum for discussing vmmagic at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmmagic. It seems that vmmagic API won't be changed impulsively as there are several projects dependent on the current interface.
